Status: Active planning and deployment phase
Timeline: June–October (multi-year research arc)
This working expedition will transit the Northwest Passage from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to Victoria, British Columbia, engaging with communities across Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, Hudson Bay, and Baffin Island.
The project examines how climate warming, sea ice loss, and increasing commercial access interact over time — particularly in regions where ecological change and economic pressure are converging.
Key areas of focus include:
- Changes in marine ecosystems linked to warming waters and ice loss
- Beluga habitat use and behaviour in regions facing increased vessel traffic
- Community-led monitoring of environmental and cultural indicators
- Documentation of lived experience where climate change and commercialisation overlap
This project is conducted in partnership with Indigenous groups, including collaboration near Churchill, Manitoba, where local stewards are working to protect beluga populations and cultural continuity amid proposed port expansion.
Purpose:
To support informed, community-centred decision-making as the Arctic enters a period of rapid environmental and economic transition.
Status: Partially operational, expanding capacity
This programme integrates scientific diving and remotely operated systems to support subsea research, inspection, and recovery where appropriate.
Current capabilities include:
- Shallow-water ecological surveys
- Infrastructure inspection (anchors, moorings, hulls)
- Recovery of derelict fishing gear and marine debris where conditions allow
- Assistance with wildlife response efforts when requested and coordinated with authorities
As funding allows, this programme is expanding expedition-grade ROV capacity to reduce reliance on risky or unnecessary diving and to enable work in deeper, colder, or more complex environments.
Status: Active
Partners: Hospitals, schools, and education organisations
Expedition Luminescence brings real-world science, exploration, and environmental understanding into classrooms and care settings — particularly where physical travel is not possible.
Through virtual reality, film, and interactive storytelling, the programme:
- Connects students to live research and expeditions
- Builds environmental and scientific literacy
- Supports curiosity, empathy, and future stewardship
- Delivers all educational content free of charge
The programme includes collaborations with children’s hospitals and underserved schools, ensuring access to science is not limited by geography, health, or resources.
Status: Active, separate governance
The Red Quill Society is an affiliated but independent programme focused on documenting environmental harm and supporting accountability through evidence.
Through initiatives like The Hauntline, it provides secure reporting pathways and supports investigation, documentation, and preservation of environmental evidence — particularly where oversight is weak and risks are high.
While operationally connected, Red Quill Society maintains clear ethical and legal boundaries distinct from Expedition Audacity’s research and education programmes.
HOW THESE PROJECTS CONNECT
One Mission, Multiple Pathways
Each current project serves a distinct role, but they are designed to reinforce one another:
- Research informs protection
- Documentation supports accountability
- Education builds future stewardship
- Community partnership anchors all work in consent and care
Together, they form a coherent system — not a collection of disconnected initiatives.
LOOKING AHEAD
Continuity Over Campaigns
Our projects are designed to evolve over years, not weeks. As environmental conditions shift and partnerships deepen, new work may be added or existing efforts may adapt — always grounded in the same ethical framework, scientific discipline, and respect for the communities and ecosystems involved.
This approach allows us to respond to change without losing continuity, ensuring that each project contributes to a longer arc of learning, stewardship, and accountable action rather than isolated outcomes or short-term campaigns.
